Chisoxfn Posted December 13, 2002 Author Share Posted December 13, 2002 Let me go out and say I no longer have any interest in acquiring Astachio. This guy makes way too much money. If the Sox made this so called deal, they'd be adding an extra 7 mill in salary for next season. That 7 mill would be much better spent on Paul Byrd, etc. I actually think you would be able to get Byrd for 5-6 mill and then KW could tell JR he actually saved him some money. I am really hoping this rumor is from the Mets side, that or the Mets are going to pay all of his salary. At 11 mill a year, he isn't worth Carlos Lee.

SI1020 Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 While there is no doubt we could use additional depth at SP, there is no one out there available now that interests me greatly. Pitching depth is a problem across the board in MLB baseball today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Beane isn't our GM and there is no way the Mets are going to pay JR 11 million to "take" Astacio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 13, 2002 Author Share Posted December 13, 2002 I love the idea of getting Ryan Dempster. I think we have a plethora of middle infield prospect and can afford to give one of them up if it gets us Dempster, whose only 25. The one thing I'm wondering is if he's hurt. He's thrown a ton of innings at such a young age and I'm wondering if its effected his pitching a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if KW could either swing a deal for Dempster or sign Paul Byrd (or even Omar Daal if it comes to him) we would we be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 13, 2002 Author Share Posted December 13, 2002 I agree with you all on this. Also, heck ya I'd take Kerry Wood. To me the most important thing for the Sox to get is a guy who can throw 200 plus innings. If they are doing that and putting up a decent era, we will be in great shape.

Cy Young Porzio Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 even though he is 11mil, astacio can be that 200 inning decent era guy, hes not great, but he sure is consistent, and sometimes you gotta pay out to get the good put out. I'm sure jason knows about that if you all know what i mean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubKilla Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 Originally posted by greg775i wouldn't mind dealing harris. I'm with you there greg775. At the very worst, we have Graffy who can play 2B. But I think Jimenez will be ready to go at 2B at the start of the season. Of course, other possibilities could pan out if KW deals Harris AND Valentin. Opening Day rosters should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong...I'd like to have Kerry Wood too....but I was just making a point...Jas said that maybe his arm has been affected by throwing too many innings as a youngster....and then I "coughed" Kerry Wood's name....because he blew out his arm after about 1 year in the majors. That's all I'm saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I'm saying. there is no way that pedro is worth 11 mil and lee. no way. i want to see lee go, but bring in someone who will be around for a while, regardless of who is in the minors waiting to come up.

Soxplosion Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Can you say "the next Todd Ritchie"? I sure can. Just refer to the BC rumor. If we have to dream of such rumors, take the BC one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 15, 2002 Author Share Posted December 15, 2002 I'm with ya Roman, I'd much rather get Colon then Astachio. Heck, Colon makes less money, of course we better be locking him and Buerhle up long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 we can't sign Colon and not Buehrle. if the Sox sign Colon, IF THEY WERE TO TRADE FOR HIM, and don't sign Buehrle, as HSC has said for a while now, he will walk the first chance he gets, or so I think.

Chisoxfn Posted December 15, 2002 Author Share Posted December 15, 2002 We will sign them both. If they make this move and compete, trust me, JR won't have to worry about a mill or two, cause Comiskey will be packed. Look what happened after the Angels won, their cheap owners are upping the payroll like 45%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
